See what needs doing and what each job costs
Asking price €45,000 plus estimated renovation €700/m² (≈€70,000) yields an effective €115,000 or ≈€1,150/m², far above the local median of €260/m². The property is listed as 'Needs renovation' and is inland (70 km from the sea), so renovation costs dominate the value here.
More on the house and the area
A workable Piedmont farmhouse with attached barn, private courtyard and simple, usable living rooms — this is a real home, not a ruin. It’s dated and needs renovation and repairs, but at €45k it’s a solid bargain for someone ready to refresh it.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€20,000 – €35,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 59/100The Maritime Alps are close to the west, and Centallo sits on the plain at the foot of the Cuneo valleys. The Stura di Demonte and Gesso valleys are the main mountain corridors nearby, with the Parco Naturale delle Alpi Marittime beginning farther up the valleys. Cuneo is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections. The area is known for mixed farming and fruit growing on the Cuneo plain, with Alpine scenery forming the wider backdrop rather than the immediate landscape.
